Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: still Available.

“TRUE BARN FIND!!! 1950 Willy’s Jeepster Convertable-DO NOT RUN- 283 Engine -3 Speed Transmission-GREAT PROJECT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Mike shared this project. Is that chalk on the body?
“I bought this truck last summer hoping to make it my project truck but living in the city and not having a shop I bit off much more than I can chew. Now looking to sell it and get some of my money back on it. I think it would make an awesome restore project but someone that has the time and expertise. The guy I bought it from told me that the motor would turn over and it’s not locked up. I haven’t personally crank it though. It did have oil in it. I started to break down some of the parts planning to sand them and clean them up a bit but I still have everything you see in the pictures except the seats. They were pretty far gone.
Make me an offer.”
Travis spotted this rare Hurst Jeepster Commando model. However, it looks like this one has added gauges in the middle of the dash. (This video shows a stock dash, though the Hurst Badge on the hood appears incorrect). Here are some black and white photos of a HJC.

“1971 Jeep jeepster hurst wagon. #99 out of 103 produced. This vehicle was built on the last-run of Hurst Jeepsters. Rebuilt V6 225 engine, new timing chain, distributor, water pump, gas tank and sender, new tires and brakes, hoses with correct dauntless engine decals. Has rare special sales order plate.

Has some later model hubcaps that might have been from a pink DJ-3A Surrey.

“No documents – selling as is. $1200 or best offer, but go this weekend. Unsure of year, assuming 1948-1954.”
Dave alerted me to this auction. The 1951 doesn’t have any photos just yet.
Now this looks like a barn find, one someone covered and put away. I wouldn’t call it a barn-find price, but looks like it has potential.
https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeepster-barn-find/6556439009.html
“1948 Willys Jeepster. All original barn find, 4cyl ran and drove when parked. 6v system, convertible top, manual tranny. Vehicle is in great shape for its age with very little rot. Would make a great restoration candidate or clean it up, refresh the mechanicals and drive it like it is.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/08/2016) One runs and has rust. The other looks more solid, but doesn’t run.

“here i have a pair of jeepsters in need of some love but plenty to work with. these are very limited production jeeps coming after the willys jeeps, but before amc took them over these are prior to the cj5, the cj7 and are very very rare the yellow one is the 1970 and the blue is the 1967
the first is a 1967 jeepster revival series convertible with the roadster package and a rare automatic transmission. it does not run but has tons of potential $5800 . I have a spare dauntless v6 motor to go with the jeep the motor was fine in this one is has been sitting for about 5 years.
the second of the two is a 1970 jeepster commando recent convertible top has the dauntless v6 that does run and a manual transmission this also comes with a plow setup $ 4700
both of these jeepsters are the kaiser built models not the later amc models the 1970 is actually the last year they were still built by kaiser

(03/20/2018) I thought this was going to be all stock. I was surprised to see the V8.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/1950-willys-jeepster-fun/6532255023.html
“The 1950 Willy’s Jeepster is perhaps one of the most overlooked vehicles on the market today. Restored or modified Jeepster have sold for over $45,000.
This Jeepster has a 350 Corvette Engine with an Automatic Turbo 400 transmission. New brakes, top, seats, gauges, and additional parts.
Easy and fun to drive!
The Jeepster runs and drives great and always brings a BIG “Thumps Up” wherever she goes.
Willing to accept a reasonable offer or interesting trade.”
Not sure how much value is here.
